Laird Park Campground is a Forest Service campground in Idaho's Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest, within the Palouse Ranger District. It is a place for camping rather than a trail, and its location puts it among a cluster of hikes and paddling waters in the surrounding forest. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 82°F and lows near 49°F, with only about four wet days in the month. Winter brings highs in the upper 30s and several snowy days a month from December through February. The closest outings are the Klawa Creek and Sand Mountain Trail hikes, each within about 2 miles. Meadow Creek and the Palouse River, both paddling waters, are roughly 4 to 5 miles away.
